A Voice From Howell.
Piedmont Leader.


James H. Chase, Register of the
United States Land Office at Ironton,
is heard from in another part of the
district. We thought that he had con-
fined his meanness to Iron and WAYNE
counties, but we see he has not. The
West Plains Gazette of last week gives
him lifts" in the following article:
''In the many articles we have writ
ten i'm regard to Republicans holding
office under Democratic rule, we have
refrained from giving the name of any
obnoxious person, bnt we believe it our
duty to do so, when We see an officer
conducting the business of his office to
the detriment of the party in power.
The case we have in view. is that OF
the Register in the land office at Iron
ton. Register Chase has all along, we
understand, been diserimina ting in fa-
vor of Republican ane sorehead DEM
ocratic journals. This is the general
opinion of publishers CT Democratic
papers, in towns where they have on-
position. The Gazette has published
two land entry notices in the last six
months, both of which Mr.. Chase did
all he could to keep us from being paid
for. The last one, land entry No. 5000,
the proof of publication was sent tc
him, when he returned it foT correction.
We made all the corrections, and sent
him the correct proof, which he would
not receive, but wrote back to the gen.
tIeman, Mr.. Herren, that his entry was
forfeited. We then wrote autocrat
Chase, explaining and showing the last
proof sent was.correct in every partic-
ular. He then wrote Mr.. 10. Van
Wormer that he would not receive, OF
objected to the proof because the copy
of the advertisement attached, was not
put on exactly straight. He wrote us,
that we could see his letter to the clerk
and we would understand "partly"the
reason why he would not receive our
statement We investigated and found
that he required for one thing that Mr..
Van Wormer put his seal of office to
the document, leaving it clear to our
mind that his main objection was the
fact that the Gazette is q Democratic
journal. We are satisfied that we are
correct in our judgment, for we have
other evidence to the fact. Now, this
man Chase is obnoxious to nearly, if
not all, the leading Democratic lawyers
in his district, and also to every lead
ing Democratic paper, yet he is retain-
ed in office, when half dozen better
men have applied for the place, backed
by strong endorsements of their party.
Chase has no claims on the office, and
if he were a gentleman of conscience
he would not hold it ten days under
the rule of party which he evidently
ha tes so much. We hope our brethren
of the Democratic press will express
themselves freely on this matter, to the
end that we may have an enemy re-
moved from place he Is using to the
detiiment ct straight-out Democratic
papers.

on the land or any other questions,
once the necessity for choosing between
the two is created, that Mr.. George
counts npon gaining more adherents to
his cause from among the native Amer
leans who hate and fear everything
connected with the Roman Church
than he will lose by antagonizing that
church. In other words, if this is true,
George has thrown away palpable
power over thousands of voters for q
future strength which only the widest
demagogue in his following can se-

A Bridge Across the Channel.

Now that the Channel tunnel scheme
has been knocked on the head, an en-
deavor is to be made-so the French
engineering journals say-to build a
bridge over the Straits of Dover. We
have heard something of the kind be-
fore, but the world is now favored with
a few details of this interesting project.
The bridge would start from point on
the French coast between Cape Grisnez
and Ambleteuse, and end at Folke-
stone. 1t would be thirty-five kill
ometers in length. would cost a milliard
to build, and would be completed in
seven years. 1t would be high enough
for the largest vessels to pass beneath
it, and ''in time of war it could easily
be blown up" NJ. Hersent, who had
a good deal to do with the cutting of
the Suez Canal, is said to be the
sponsor of this wild scheme.-St.

A Little Girl Learns How Sweet 1t . to

A Little Girl Learns How Sweet 1t to
Conquer That Which is Wrong.
She was a daisy little girl, with large
brown eyes and yellow hair. She lived
iii Il Connecticut village. She bad Il
darling mamma and papa. little
brother and sister. and, what no girl
can spare, grandfather home where
she was always the center of love,
devotion and care. Sometimes the
days were just long hours of happi-
ness, and sometimes they were ages of
misery. Now. why was there this
great difference? L will tell you the
secret. This darling little girl was
possessed by habit that made all
about her miserable, and herself more
miserable than any one else. If she
was allowed to have her own way she
made life delightful for every one
about her. but if she was refused any
request, or forbidden to do that which
she wished to do. she made every
body about her wretched. Oh! the
car-piercing screams. the poundings
and kickings. that followed any at
tempt to prevent her carrying out her
wish! How hard everybody about her
tried TO help the little girl to overcome
this terrible temper! But her best help
was in her own warm heart The
day came at last when she must
go to school among strangers.
How anXiously was her return waited
for; but she came home smilingly. and
with no trace of the ugly temper that
caused SO much unhappiness Sever
al days went by and no cloud APP
peared; but one day our little girl
wished to do that which was against
the rule Of the school. She wished to
take home her book. The teacher
told her she could not. That was all
that was needed 20 raise TEMPEST.
which SO frightened the teacher that
she gave her consent The little girl
picked up the book and started for
home. When she reached the door
she looked back, saw the expression
on the teachers face. and at once
turned, laid the book on the teachers
desk. and said: 1--WE been very
naughty; please forgive me-" and ran
home 10 her mother. on whom she
threw herself, saying: I've got a
victory! and then told her mamma
OF her struggle. She had gained the
victory. and since that day has gained
many. Very rarely now are there
cloudy days in that little girls home.

MORAL CONDUCT.

Como Searching Questions and Conelusivo
How does physical welfare affect moral
conduct
This question is agitating the minds Of tho
best men OF our country. Judges, scientists,
legislators are discussing it in private, a.
well as the workngmen, the bankers, and
Our country, like the rest of the world, Il
fast filing up with men having anarch,cal
ideas. and with other social and political
extremists.
May not our morbid tendencies come from
disease OF the mind, caused by disease of the
organ, which, IN its enfeebled state, diffuses
poison through the system, thus affecting
the brain!
It is . long established fact that bodily
disease causes most cases Of insanity and
''softening OF tho brain" The medical pro-
principal Notwithstanding organs Of the
body. If they are diseased they do not per
form their proper functions and expel the
poisonous matters. II these are retained
and recirculated through the system they
produce most of our common arrangements.
We have published in our columns, from
time to time. remarkable accounts of resto-
ration to health from all manner Of disease
(even Of insanity, caused as above stately
by the use OF Warmers safe cure. There Is
no doubt that this is the most popular rem
.dy offered for sale, and from the very best
information we can obtain, the sale Of it
continues to increase.
Why is this!
Public sentiment, as rule, is fair and
just criterion. We find this safe cure in
the largest cities, and IN the most remote
parts of the world. Its merits are pro-
claimed by the consumers, as well as the
vendors. Miss Carrie L. Wallis Of Bever-
ly, Mass, is reported to have been desper-
ately i'll from general female derange-
ments for years, and to have been restored
TO, and kept in excellent health Dy this
wonderfully popular remedy, and Miss
Lille Stephens Of 1923 Third street, Louis
vile, KY, was raised by it from her death
bed, when her physicians said she was in
durable.
A prominent gentleman, high in official
position, said to US the other day, that if he
was governor, and petition for pardon was
presented to him, he would require thor
ough Investigation, as to the physical health
of the criminal at the time the crime was
committed. In view of such facts, the re-
concentrations of such q remedy are well
worth consideration.
The solution of the relation Of moral con-
duct to physical health, ought to be well
established in the minds Of all, and our
statesmen should be prepared to meet the
issues growing out Of it when they appear.
